As a result, a lot of good fortune just seems to fall in my lap without asking for it.
I can and do sympathize with other people when they fall on hard times. I do care about people. But I have a huge problem with people searching for sympathy. Outwardly I might be helpful and caring, but on the inside I am bothered or angry that I have to deal with them (This is just one example. In general, people irritate me when they try to lead me somewhere - either physically or mentally. I find it very insulting)
If trouble ensues - I am never the one who gets in trouble. Since I am percieved as an introvert and kind and compassionate and honest, I don't ever get suspected of anything, even if I played a hand in that action. I often find that my accomplices will take the punishment without a mention of my role in the matter. I don't even have to threaten them. They just willfully spare me.
On another note, for whatever reason, I get along extremely well with overt narcissists. I don't know if they have NPD, but they definitely have a lot of traits. They're fun people to be around. I don't have a problem sympathizing with them even when provoked because typically they are able to build a reasonable case as to why I should sympathize. I have no problem offering tidings that will inflate their ego. I feel like I work well with them. I think this has to do with the fact that I don't want to be number 1 in most roles. I am not a threat to their position But I absolutely have to be number 2 - and as a bonus, getting on their good side and helping them attain the leadership role insures my desired position.
My husband is extremely narcissistic - I have never loved and hated a person so much.

The last statement is something that my wife would also say LOL!!!! This is because deep down we are the most fun people to be around. Like the bad boys all the girls were warned of during the school years. We are loved and hated by all.
